This Repo demonstrates a bug found in conan version 2.0.3. The bug is caused by an override statement in a downstream package to a dependency which is never required as a real dependency in the result graph.
The follwing diagram illustrates the dependency graph:
In order to reproduce the bug, you need to build all three packages in the following order: 1. liba 2. libb 3. libc
using conan create .. Make sure you have conan 2.0.3 installed. The issue might exists in older versions as well but it was not tested.
During the build of libc you shoud receive the following error message:

ERROR:
It is interesting that the error occurs only in that specific dependency graph pattern. When removing libb or liba from libc, the package creation is fine. I'm not sure what the right behvior should look like. Maybe I would expect some warning but the build should succeed anyway even if the override dependency was never materialized.
